60-day fetal arrest

Developmental arrest means that the fetus stops developing during the growth process. Pregnancy is very difficult and no one wants to see developmental arrest occur. Fetal arrest can occur at any stage of pregnancy. Some symptoms will appear at 60 days of fetal arrest. It is important to detect abnormalities in time, whether it is to preserve the fetus or to further resolve the problem. So, what does it feel like when the fetus stops growing at 60 days of pregnancy? Let’s take a look at the symptoms of fetal arrest at 60 days.

How does it feel to have a miscarriage at 60 days of pregnancy?

At 60 days of pregnancy, once you feel that the pregnancy reactions are gradually decreasing, such as no more nausea, vomiting and other early pregnancy reactions disappear, and the feeling of breast swelling is weakened, you should be vigilant. These phenomena can be regarded as early symptoms of fetal growth retardation. Some patients have vaginal bleeding with dark red bloody leucorrhea, and some patients have lower abdominal pain. You should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

What are the reasons for fetal arrest?

1. Genetic factors: If there are chromosomal abnormalities or genetic gene defects, common abnormalities include sperm or egg chromosomes.

2. Insufficient hormone secretion makes it difficult to support embryonic development and causes death.

3. The malformation of the uterine cavity makes it impossible for the embryo to grow.

4. Viral infection during pregnancy, exposure to radioactive substances, toxic chemicals, taking drugs prohibited during pregnancy, high temperature, microwaves, noise, excessive stimulation, etc.

5. Maternal factors: such as poor physical constitution or illness, cervical incompetence, luteal insufficiency, endometriosis, immune factors, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc.

Symptoms of fetal growth retardation

6-8 weeks after pregnancy, once you feel that the pregnancy reactions are gradually reducing, such as no more nausea, vomiting and other early pregnancy reactions disappear, and the feeling of breast swelling is weakened, you should be vigilant. These phenomena can be regarded as early symptoms of fetal growth retardation. Some patients have vaginal bleeding with dark red bloody leucorrhea, and some patients have lower abdominal pain. You should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

The above symptoms vary from person to person. Some people may not even show any signs, but may directly experience abdominal pain, followed by miscarriage, or fetal growth retardation without any symptoms and then be discovered through routine B-ultrasound examination.

The ultrasound diagnostic criteria for fetal growth retardation are:

1. The embryo is ≥6 weeks old and has no gestational sac;

2. Although there is a gestational sac, it is deformed and wrinkled;

3. When the gestational sac is ≥4cm but no embryo is seen;

4. The head and arm length of the embryo bud is ≥1.5cm but there is no fetal heart beat.

The above four points can be used to determine whether the embryo is developing abnormally.

Although some cases of fetal arrest can result in a complete abortion on their own without the need for a curettage, this is very rare. For most women, doctors recommend hospitalization for curettage after fetal growth retardation. Because fetal growth retardation is likely to cause heavy bleeding after the operation, they must be hospitalized for observation for a period of time.
